New Feature

In an effort to expand the scope of this site, I have now begun to combine all Finger family lines into one large database. However, I have added one extra piece of information to each person's record, to identify which Finger family line he is related to. You'll see a tag labeled REFN: with each person. So far, here's what we have:

AD1870 = Adam Finger, Germany to Connecticut 1893
CH1839 = Charles Finger, Germany to England to New York 1887
GO1809 = Gottfried Finger, Germany to Wisconsin 1830s
HE1837 = Henrich Finger, Germany to Baltimore 1852 (& other descendants)
JO1700 = Johannes Vinger, Germany to New York 1710
JO1786 = Johannes Finger, Germany to Cleveland, Ohio 1840
JO1803 = Johann Heinrich Finger, Prussia to Baltimore, Maryland ~1842
